Question : Madam/sir, I am married since about 2 years. I am much afraid of pregnancy because I have heard some cases of complications of some women during delivery ( I don't know the exact complications). Even if I have heard some death cases during giving birth to a child. Is it really a life risk to give birth to a child ??? I am having PCO and sometimes late periods ( 5-6 days late). I checked myself with a doctor who said that I am having PCO by seeing ultrasound. Sir do I have any more risk than a normal woman ????

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Everyday, millions of women give birth, I and hardly a few die or have complications.
Risk of dying or having serious complications during pregnancy are rare, same as chance of dying while crossing the road or taking a flight.
Your fear is irrational and unnecessary.
You are not at any increased risk because of PCO.
Please relax.
Motherhood is the biggest gift from god.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further
